  • I’ve had two LG phones that had a fingerprint sensor/power button on the backside of the phone. I miss that arrangement. The button/sensor was way more ergonomic. My index finger would naturally end up in that spot when I pick up the phone. I find the screen fingerprint readers are more awkward and less reliable, especially once you add a screen protector. Unfortunately, LG got out of the smartphone business. Just because a feature is newer tech doesn’t mean it is better.





  • AFAIK mineral oil and petroleum jelly are considered food safe. In the food industry they are used as lubricant on machinery that comes into contact with food (like meat slicers or even soda machines). Petroleum jelly is also found in a lot of skin care products, like Vasoline, vapo-rub, makeup -removing cream, and is also used in lip balm.

    That being said, oil & gas extraction has and is wreaking havoc on our environment and health. So, while these products may be safe for human contact, they have a cost.
